You can try to explain the situation but as many have already stated, the general consensus is that a step-parent is financially responsible for their step-children, regardless of their desire. It may not seem fair, but in all honesty, your step-father's income does assist the household, and you are a part of the household.
Quite honestly, I cannot understand how a person can marry into a premade family and expect to not contribute to the child's well-being. One doesn't just marry the adult, they are also "marrying" the children. I am sooo sick of seeing threads about step-parents who refuse to help support the children they chose to take on. Its absurd!!
